Therefore, please make every effort to have your child attend school on the days of testing. Students testing must be present in their designated testing rooms (HR – unless told otherwise) by 7:50 a.m. Designated testing rooms will be HR or will be emailed to each student that has an IEP, 504 or is an ELL student.
